.NAME
    SPUserProfileSyncService
 
.DESCRIPTION
     
    This resource is responsible for ensuring that the user profile sync service has
    been provisioned (Ensure = "Present") or is not running (Ensure = "Absent") on the
    current server. This resource uses the InstallAccount to validate the current state
    only, the set method which will do the provisioning uses the FarmAccount to do the
    actual work - this means that CredSSP authentication will need to be permitted to
    allow a connection to the local server. To allow successful provisioning the farm
    account must be in the local administrators group, however it is not best practice
    to leave this account in the Administrators group. Therefore this resource will add
    the FarmAccount credential to the local administrators group at the beginning of the
    set method, and then remove it once it has completed its work.
